St. Bart's celebrates 85 years

Hundreds gathered for the annual Italian Feast at St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Church over the weekend to celebrate Norwich’s longstanding Italian Catholic heritage and help sustain a church that has become an unmistakable staple in the community. This was the 85th annual St. Bartholomew Italian Feast Celebration, which began in 1927 as a fundraiser to construct the church itself. Photo by Frank Speziale.
